will use celtic words to show word patterns supporting my theory on bylazora, belen etc posted in this thread by me. proposition: the preponderence of matches below makes my theory valid beyond a doubt, with only (yet important) details to be sorted out.Etymology Of British Place-names

note the british place name site connects don with ton:Don. Perhaps connected with Celtic afon. It occurs in names of several rivers, as Don, Tone, Teign, Teane, &c.
